Feeling something Lonely like a concrete wall Cold in my bed under the covers I want to forget I bet they feel the same You confuse me with your spiral eyes I cut myself for money offer you A portion and all my love Yet I’m something faltered Wrong for the right reasons Wrong for the wrong reasons Alone and waiting for no one Unconventional methods We tell each other how we’d **** ourselves You’re hitting me through a straw I’d prefer a bite of something sweet Everything reminds me of him All the hims really Every new him is like the last but with a separate journal entry Now I’m on a grainy camera trying to make a living or something My dad calls me a failure to my face My mother is violent in her silence I’ll never be anyone else they see in me I’m a moth drawn to the flame of promise A flame I burn my skin with Writing words for you Not for myself Because there is nothing here I spend my days curled up with my own fingers In the palm of my own hand
